A GERMAN author, saying that
women in some departments OF
literature have entirely supplanted
men. gives as reason that women are
carried away with the current of the
day. "In art as in life, they always
follow the latest fashion, are realists
to-day. idealists tomorrow, and there
fore always sure to appeal to the taste
of the moment"

A QUITMAN. Ga, policeman had a
strange experience one evening recent
ly. A negro whom he arrested gave
him so much trouble that he had to
use his club to quiet him. He hit the
arrest on the head two or three
times, when he was startled by the
sudden blazing up of the Negroes wool.
After the novel fire was pit out the
negro explained that he had been
using his hair as n match-safe.

AT the Nashville race-course the
other day a man stood near a book
making stand undecided how to bet his
money. While he was trying to make
up his mind as to what to do a red
headed girl suddenly passed by him.
He saw her, wheeled around, bet his
money on the only gray horse in the
race and lost it. This is not the usual
way of ending such stories, but the
truth must be told once in while.

The question of who is to blame tor
the lack of immigration the past two
years is a thing of the past dead
issue. The question now is, who will
want to pull back! 1t is a question Of
work now Tor to-day and the future
to atone for that which has not been
done. The HERALD believes that pco-
pie of Texas are in dead earnest
that the railroads will be willing CO.
operators, and that tie result will be
great boom for Texas and thousands
from the old states made happy and
prosperous by their move to Texas.

The Herald has seen no article III
either of its city exchanges which it
so Thoroughly endorses as the Times
article yesterday on the subject OF
bois dare for street paving The
Times correctly reasons that this paw
ing material is within easy reach OF
Dallas, growing abundantly almost at
our own doors, is the cheapest to be
obtained, and will be less noisy and
most enduring. 1t has been tested
here and no objection can be urged
against it, except, perhaps, the idea
that it breeds malaria. For a pave
ment that will stand heavy usage, and
free from the Objectionable noise Of
hard rock, the bois dare is the cheap
est and most lasting. Dallas would
do very unwise and expensive thing
to substitute an experiment for this
material growing so abundantlv about
us, aud which has satisfactorily stood
the test.

puRsLY BUSINESS.

The question ofimmigration forTex-

people of Texas advertise the resour-
ces and advantages of the state as
business man offers inducements for
trade. A healthy immigration is a
boon to any state and is courted
by all. A good immigration OF home
builders and enterprising industrial
and manufacturing people would be
great advantage to our state ana a
business benefit to all commercial
and Industrial pursuits; it would
populate and develop our waste

ductivc of The various materials Of

with climate favorable to the profit
able growth OF nearly every product
Of this continent. These inducements
properly presented to the people OF
the worn out, frigid, and high-priced-
land states of the north aud east,
would induce many to come to Texas

Talking to ones Self.
Arthur Merrick, in the Epoch.


If any person will carefully note the
manner of speech used by those given
to the habit of talking to themselves,
he will some to the conclusion that the
phrase is misleading. For proof of this
assertion let it be remembered that the
talking always takes some form like
the following: sNow, let me show
you'--.If ever l find you'-'Nothing
of the sort; he isl just tell you
sWhyl Do you know l'-and so on.
Thus it will be seen that the language
of the solitary talker takes the form of
address to another person. In the
greatest number of cases the solitary
talker speaks only when mentally excl
ted, and then his language is mixture
of assertion, contradiction and vituper-
alton. Now and again he is merely ex-
clamatory, but whatever the words he
uses may be, it is plain that he is always
addressing himself to an imaginary
| person.
Some solitary takers are known to be
given to self condemnation, and this
seems to contradict the assertion that
there is no such thing as talking to
ones SELF The question was put to q
man who is given to condemning his owr
past conduct in emphatic speech wher
he gets alone:
DO you speak to yourself2'
mot exactly he replied, slowly
Il am at these times Dr. Jekyll de

Surely, upon investigation, ther'
seems to be no such thing as talking

This Life is what we Make It.

Let's oftener talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And not about the sad ones.
We were not made to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake it;
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men,
Or be believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
oh! there's a slumbering good in all,
And we perchance msy wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed light and joy about them
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We ne'er had known without them.
oh this should be happy world
To all who may partake it; aaea
The faults our own if it is not
This life is what we make it.
